I'd like to thank all that responded to my prior posting. It's nice to see that everyone is friendly and knowledgable. However, I want to clear some things up so here it goes. First, any mods that i do, i would keep the original parts so that if i wanted to bring her up to concourse level in the future, i could. Second, I am not married to the idea of painting her, i do like the stainless look, but painted it would look great as well. Third, unfortunately I don't have the money to buy a "rats nest" and build both cars up. The mods/upgrades I would like to do will literally take a couple of years to complete. Finally, I look forward to more dialog on this in the future. Thanks. Sincerely, Steven T #2801
